TACHYCARDIA
Just got out of the shower. A cold-er shower. Went running/jogging/walking again. Only 10 laps like the previous week. While I was at my hotel in RI last weekend I jumped on this sophisticated treadmill that measured all kinds of things like lap time, heart-rate, sweat flow-rate, digestion, percentage of ionized species, and IQ.
What concerned me was my maximum heart-rate. Actually, I'm really hoping that I didn't max-out the machine so that it was telling me its maximum value allowed as opposed to the accurate value of my beating heart. (Some may argue that my heart is not beating.) Anyway, I peaked at 195 bpm. I think this was off the chart on what I saw in that fitness room. Wow, am I really going to die? My resting heart-rate right out of the shower is now 90. Gah.
According to this web-site, a 27 year-old HR "Beginner" calculation should have the following:
Maximum HR: 193
Min Training HR: 115
Max Training HR: 154
Although when I enter values for their "Advanced" calculation (with resting HR of 90):
Maximum HR: 193
Min Training HR: 151
Max Training HR: 172
I guess this means that I was over-exerting myself? I swear this stuff is voodoo.
I think I'm slightly improving though. Also, I think I've lost weight in the past couple of months. I don't know exactly what to contribute this to, but I'm down to 198-lbs. For my height I should be around 175 according to our government. Although they thought Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, so I don't know what number to believe.

One of the key "heart" numbers is how quickly your heart rate increases from rest to "target" and more importantly, how quickly it goes from "target" to rest. If it's slow...it's apparently not a good thing.
Yeah, this is why I'm going to try to buy a Polar HR monitoring watch this week. More toys! Hopefully that will help me track the rate of change in my HR. Thanks for the advice.
Now, what did it say about your IQ?
